Retire in style to Fullands Court

A spacious two bedroom first floor apartment with views over open landscaped gardens and walking distance of shops located on a purpose built retirement development for the over 55s. Management services are provided by Cognatum Estates, a not-for-profit organisation and one of the UK's leading companies in retirement housing.

Fullands House, a listed late-Georgian building, is the centrepiece of this beautiful estate, surrounded by a multitude of fine trees. It has changed uses many times over the years, at different points housing local military commanders, friars, lunatics and then, for much of its later life, schoolboys, amongst whom was General Gordon of Khartoum. Now, in happily less dramatic times, it is host to some delightful sunny apartments. The estate also offers a Victorian Gothic cottage and other two- and three-bedroom properties, the architecture complementing the main house and surrounded by lawns, beautifully planted beds and woodland.

There are shops close by and a local butcher and fishmonger deliver to the estate, and there is also a weekly farmers’ market. A regular bus service goes into the centre of Taunton, the county town of Somerset, with its broad range of shops, restaurants and cultural venues, and a history stretching back to Saxon times. It is home to Somerset Cricket Club and a well-known racecourse and is surrounded by beautiful countryside, on the edge of Exmoor. The Quantock Hill Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty also lies just a few miles to the north.

Services include a resident estate manager, making this property ideal for a ‘lock up and leave’, gardener, personal alarm system, laundry room and guest suite for visitors.

150 year lease (from 1989), no ground rent and 55+ age covenant.
